Hi

I just read that Parallels 5 runs W7 "faster than bootcamp"

....Well... not in my computer

I wonder how much RAM do you need to run Windows 7

I have a "white" macbook with 2 GB or RAM and Snow Leopard

And well o well, running Windows 7 from Parallels is something i think will not do again

Although i still think Parallels is useful to run Linux, i dont see the point with Windows 7...at least with 2 GB or RAM...Really, your "application" killed my macbook today

And well o well...There is no "Aero" for me...on virtual machine...While i can get it with boot camp

Another issue is tat i lose my "legal" copy of Parallels 4. Will run my virtual machine after uninstalling Parallels 5 and reinstall the "legal" copy of Parallels 4?

Thank you. But i am dissapointed....Broken promises
 
You might need to manually select an Aero theme or run the Windows Experience Index before you get Aero in Parallels. It came up Aero-free at first for me, but running the WEI fixed it.
 
My W7 / P4 setup was painfully slow at 2 GB on my MBP. I bumped it up to 4 GB for $80 and the speed is MUCH better, with little to no lag. What a difference!
